http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2541294450056043956IMENtm shows my 'brilliant' idea of using an old sweater dryer under the kitchen exhaust lights to dry multiple free-standing lace embroideries in a flat position. It used to take me days to dry multiples using any spare surface in the...

Would someone who attended please report on the Long Beach show? Did they work out the long lines which were a problem last year? Did anyone notice The Quilt Merchant booth? It would have been all reproduction fabrics. Susan

I think this is the URL and the album is just called Quilts! http://good-times.webshots.com/album/564211765TbZudZ?vhost=good-times Judy from Mass

I have not found the time to right my own bio response but have enjoyed reading everyone else's. I plan to keep all the responses in a folder with the directory. Someone please remind me who started this thread. I think they deserve a reward (soft of course). Susan

Spent the entire day at the Road to California Quilt Show. Had an absolute blast. GF and I left early, she had the directions to get there from the website, but we forgot to check with Rand McNally or Mapquest to see who to get to the correct freeway. We made up our own way and were in the...

My dd is choosing classes for HS. She enters 9th grade next year (who knows how THAT happened. She's only 3!). She asked me to help her look at the different classes with her. They offer quilting as a class!!!!! She wasn't interested tho. I guess she feels she can get that at home. But they...

I'm seeing responses to messages I never saw and at least 2 of my posts have not shown up. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948

from the basement to the 2nd floor! When we moved here from MN last summer -- set up temporary sewing quarters in our unfinished basement. It has worked well and I have **stolen** more room than I was supposed to! The extra space was nice -- but the exposed ceilings and concrete walls were a...

DS and his wife surprised me with a Christmas puppy this weekend! Her name is JJ (Jada Jarhead) and she's a 5 month old Boxer. Yippee! Pictures are in the album marked JJ (see link below) Musicmaker http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cbet_99/my_photos

I've just finished my 4th baby quilt (Hungry Animal Alphabet by SSI) .. of course all of them were given as gifts... and my son, now 2 is starting to wrap himself in the one i just finished and say it's his.. so I guess...

Last week the mail brought me the results of my very first swap, the Christmas fabrics one hosted by Frood. This weekend I decided that they should become a tradionally colored throw for the living room to use before, during and after the holiday season. It would be a fast and easy tied...

Fair went very well. I entered 7 quilts and got 4 ribbons. Mom and I had a joint quilt that won a blue! Finished packing up Mom's house and got her moved to Paducah. All of this between Wednesday and Sunday. I feel like balloon with the air let out, but happy that things went as well as they...

I have added photos to the babies site. Some are of Lilianna and her new quilt made by me (grandma). The quilt is one of Carol Doaks easy projects Irish Chain . I added embroidered butterflies and Lilianna's name. http://home.comcast.net/~rcano99/Baby.htm

how blatant does one have to be in a beg?? How subtle is too subtle??? I guess I was too subtle and MissMop missed it...does that mean I'm no longer in training, or do I need more classes?? Larisa, plugging away on the last presents, only one quilting related - the new tree skirt will,...

This was going to be the year to make Me a quilt, as well as a BOM, and possibly a quilt for DD. I may still get to do all of those but they got pushed back. Life came and said..you know that quilt you always wanted to make for DMIL? Its time. She needs it now. So, I am listening. She...

Trying to reach Carey Hutchins. You are in my miniRR group and we are trying to communicate with you. Please contact us via ng or direct email. This is very important! (we've been trying to reach you for over two weeks and have heard nothing) Thanks, Ginger in CA

If you've got a moment, please take a look at the first quilt in my webshots WIP album (quilt top for kiki). It's ready for its third border, which I've planned to be the same as the first. When I did the design in EQ5 (2nd pic in WIP album)I didn't think about the binding. I really like the look...

Why can't I make a scrap quilt with all my bits and pieces without using a pattern? I have searched the net far and wide and according to all I see and read I must use a pattern even to make something with scraps of fabrics? I guess what I want to know is, how would I sew together all odd sizes...

First, I would like to thank everyone who made suggestions for my fan problem. You are all truly very kind and gracious! Now..... I went to a Sewing Expo in Chantilly, VA this morning and bought a Curve Master presser foot. What a neat thing! No pinning or cutting the curves. It took me a...

I went shopping today! :) Got 200 sewing machine needles for a friend - 100 80's and 100 90's. Got the August issue of British Patchwork & Quilting and Sewing World Got two half metres of fabric - both beige backgrounds, one with a Paisley pattern, one with sewing things -scissors, pins, thread,...
